How Whole House Water Filtration Can Improve Your Health

As conscious consumers, we’re becoming increasingly aware of the dangers of untreated tap water. New information is coming out about Australian tap water chemicals and the risk they pose to us and our communities. 

To protect yourself and your family you may be considering a whole house water filtration system. The addition of a filter to your home will purify the water from kitchen and bathroom sinks, showers and baths, and all other water sources. Read on for the great health and environmental benefits.

Benefits of Water Filtration

Health Benefits of Water Filtration

• Protection Against Toxic Tap Water: the removal of chlorine, bacteria, giardia, nitrates and more (depending on your system) reduces exposure to chemicals and debris, which is detrimental to your wellbeing. 
• Healthier Hair and Skin: frequent exposure to heavy metals and chemicals in tap water over time can aggravate your skin, and especially those living with eczema and psoriasis. Filtered water is less drying and much softer on your skin!
• Cleaner Indoor Air Quality: if you’re using tap water for portable ait conditioners or dehumidifiers, using filtered water will enhance your air quality. This fosters better health and may reduce frequency of illness.
• Reduced Odour, Colour, and Enhanced Taste: one of the greatest benefits is the better tasting water straight from your tap! 

Environmental Impact with Filtration Systems

• Save Money and Reduce Plastic: having filtered water on demand means purchasing less single-use bottles of water, which is more money in your pocket and less waste in the world.
• Using Pure and Safe Water for Your Garden: avoid contaminating your plants and crops when you use pure water, free from viruses or unwanted pesticides. 
• Energy Efficiency: your installed water filtration system should be chosen based on its energy efficiency to avoid unnecessary charges, and to help the environment.

How Does Water Filtration Work?

A whole house water filtration system will remove the impurities of ground and rainwater with cutting-edge technology. 

They remove:

• Chlorine contains Trihalomethanes (THM’S), known carcinogens, which is closely linked to cancer. Additionally, too much can negatively change the taste and smell of your tap water. 
• Cryptosporidium, which is a microscopic parasite, which can cause severe symptoms, such as vomiting and a fever. 
• Fluoride is often an optional chemical to filter out, based on your preference. This can be an additional piece added to your system.
• Sediment and silt are filtered out of your water to keep it clean from unwanted dirt, viruses, and even pesticides.
